FESTIVAL PLANNED AT JEFFERSON HIGH

The Jefferson Center Foundation will present the Jefferson Festival April 28 at Jefferson High School, which will be open to the public for the first time since it closed 11 years ago.

The school band, choir, cheerleaders, student government and drill team, the Magicianettes, will all be reactivated for the day. Former faculty sponsors will direct brief performancs by alumni who were members of those groups. Former student-government members will help in other projects, such as selling traditional chocolate candy bars.

Jefferson alumni who were members of these groups and are willing to participate should call the foundation office at 343-2624.

A basketball exhibition will be held at 7 p.m. in the school gym. Former basketball players who would like to play should call Dick Kepley at 981-2600.

Former faculty members and stage crew members who have not yet been contacted should call Laban Johnson at 981-2889.
